Summary

Swedish anti-emigration propaganda from 1869, at the height of the Swedish emigration to North America. The picture has been scanned from H. Arnold Barton, A Folk Divided: Homeland Swedes and Swedish Americans, 1840—1940, Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis, 1994. The image on the left represents Per Svensson's dream of America, that on the right the reality of his life on the American frontier. The pictures originally illustrated a cautionary tale published in 1869 in the Swedish periodical Läsning för folket, the organ of the Society for the Propagation of Useful Knowledge (Sällskapet för nyttiga kunskapers spridande), see Barton, p. 71.

The two images have also been uploaded separately, as Image:AmericanDream.png and Image:AmericanNightmare.png. Public domain by reason of age.
